PIP

Play in Progress

A couple of spirited Midlanders, we came to London with big ideas but no contacts. Although we’d bagged ourselves a middle-class education, we came from backgrounds that had no key to the creative door. Through grit and determination we ramraided our way in. So, after 25yrs combined industry experience (read graft), we decided to set up Play in Progress (PiP).

PiP is a way for us to explore the space between education and industry and mix things up. Armed with PiP’s core values of Bravery, Empathy and Truth, The GirlHood is our first project to play with the progression of the Creative Industries.Girls in the Hood

In the GirlHood we celebrate Brave Femininities. You can find a whole host of them over on our tumblr. Created as an informal careers blog for our young audience, it's a space to speak loudly and proudly about the industry’s creatives and their work.

The GirlHood is powered by Play in Progress, a social enterprise that helps young people profit from their creativity - personally, socially and financially. We specialise in creative cultural learning and content that futureproof the UK creative economy.
